WQQDRQW WILSON SOUNDS WARNING TO PANIC-MAKERS President Elect to Publicly Disgrace Man Who Tries to Start Trouble. New York. Dec. 17. President elect Wilson held up a warning finger tonight to any man who might delib erately start a panic in the United States in order to show that intended legislative oolicies were wrong. In a speech delivered at a banquet of the .Southern bociety ol New York he declared he had heard sinister pre dictions of what would follow if the Democratic party put into effect changes in economic policy. The president-elect first distin finished in his speech between "natur al" and "unnatural" panics. He said that in many cases panics had come naturally because of a mental dis turbance of people with reference to Joans and money generally. "Hut the machinery is in existence, he said, "by which the thing can be deliberately done. Frankly, I don't think there is any man living who dares use the machinery lor that pur pose. If he does, f promise him, not for myself, but for my fellow country men, a gibbet as high as Hainan's." . The governor a (bled that he meant no literal gibbet, "for that is not painful," but he said it would be the gibbet of public disgrace, "which will live as long as the members of that man's family survive." '.'America with her eyes open isn't going to let a panic happen," the governor continued, "But 1 speak as if I expected as if I feared it. I do not. 1 am afraid of nothing." The president-elect's speech covered a variety of subjects. He treated first on sectionalism, declaring it ought not to exist. "There is a vast deal to do," he said, "and it can best be done by for getting that, we arc partisans of any thing except the honor and prosperity of the nation itself. "I am happy to feel that there no longer is a serious consciousness of sectional differences in the United States. There can he no sectionalism about the thinking of Americans from this time on, because no hard-headed man can prove that there are such things as sectional interests," he said. The governor told his hearers of his strenuous day in New Jersey. "We thought we straightened things out in New Jersey," he said, "but they won't stay straight. There are some people in New Jersey who are happy that they can count the days when they can get rid of me. A man can live in Washington and know what goes on in New Jersey and a man can say from Washington what he thinks about New Jersey, and he can say it in the most effectual way by mentioning names. "Some people arc making all sorts of sinister predictions as to the trou ble we arc going to get into at Wash ington, I don't think there should be, any concern, oecause it is going to he public trouble and a great jury is al ways going to know what the evidence in the case is. I have been warned by some newspapers about keeping the open door because they have said so many people want to get into it. "Perhaps I should have said that the door will be open only to people who conic to transact business. 1 want to say that I may not be very popular by preferring business to ctiuucttc, but after I lake the oath 1 shall feel obliged to transact business and will feel obliged to cut out everything that docs not touch that business. Hut business has to be supported and com prehensively presented to the people, so I will not feel it necessary lo slay in Washington nil the time, but to find out by conversation with my neighbors everywhere what they think, for it is a great deal more im portant to (he country what you think than what 1 think." S WEEKLY REPORT ON BUSINESS The following is the weekly re port on business conditions as re printed from Dun's Review: "What appears to he the largest holiday retail trade ever known is in progress, this being a very practical test of the buying power of the people as a result of agri cultural and industrial prosperity, with labor everywhere fully em ployed. Indeed, the only limit to production m many lines is the limit fixed by the scarcity of la bor. This is the only complaint in the dry goods trade, in which there is a continued active de mand and wide distribution, espe cially in cotton goods, prices of which arc very firm. Manufac turers and dealers in shoes report an active trade, with large orders for spring supplies. Leather is quiet and hides continue weaker, with lower prices. In spite of some signs of slackened demand in iron and steel, as would be nat ural after the long period of ex pansion, production is neverthe less very close to capacity, and there is a large railroad and South American business. l'ig Jron shows an advancing tendency. Coke is exceedingly active. Al though the ginning report was a little disappointing, the outlook is for a cotton crop so large that it will rank second in the records. Domestic wheat supplies are in creasing mul there are advices of a favorable crop outlook in Ar gentina. November building op erations were very heavy, being K.5 per cent larger than hi the cor responding month last year. Rail road gross earnings continue to expand, the gain for November amounting to 8.5 per cent. Bank clearings give additional confirm ation of the prevalence of wide spread business activity, the gain this week being 14.8 per cent over last year and 21.7 per cent over lyiU. the security markets, in contrast to this favorable indus trial and mercantile exhibit, have been much depressed, the fall of prices being due to a variety of causes not connected with the business conditions that have been noted. The demand for money, with reduction of loans, is one reason ; and while the peace conference to settle the Balkan disputes is about to begin, the European political situation is still one of considerable uncer tainty. Foreign commerce con tinues to display high figures, (luring the most recent week ex ports from New York amounted to $22,886,926, a large increase over 191 1 and a still larger gain over 1910, and exports were $4, 589,400 larger than the imports, which is unusual in New York." LEBANON ITEMS The Lebanon High School debating team was awarded the decision last Friday evening in Lebanon over the Salem High School team, the debated subject being: "Resolved, that the state of Oregon should adopt a state compulsory insurance law similar to that of Washington, for the compen sation of workmen injured in hazard ous industries." Marvin J. Nye went to Portland Monday to confer with his people in regard to a big land deal that he has on his hands. A very interesting game of basket ball will be played here next Satur day evening, between the Junction City High school team and the Leba non High school team. 1 he game will be called at 8:15 sharp in the old Academy building. Lebanon's basket ball season was opened last Friday night at Indcpcnd eucc where the two high schools met for the first time in athletics. The Lebanon boys were not very favorably impressed with their opponents in terpretation of the rules and after the game admitted that tbev had not been used very gently. The Independence boys succeeded in carrying off the honors. A shadow social will be given at the Uecd hall on Saturday night. Dec. 21, 1912, for the purpose of raising Hums toward a new hall. Miss Klizabcth Carothers who has been visiting relatives in Lebanon for the past two weeks, returned to Al bany Saturday, where she will visit until after the holidays and then she will no to Portland, where she will see about makiifg arrangements to again take up her work in the missionary fields in Siam. O. W. Frnm and Mr. Overton, two out chcr s ot Urowusviile, have leased the butcher shop building next to the post office and will oneu a new butch er shop in Lebanon within the next few days. The Civic Club tea held at the resi dence of Mrs. M. N. Newport on Tuesday was a very successful affair. Express. THE WORD HELL A Llttl Book That Containa Soma - 8tartling Information.

Cor vallis, Or.. Dec. 1. "The loganberry is creating more interest in the North west at the present time, perhaps, than any other horticultural activity." said Prof. C. I. Lewis this morning discussing the new courses to be of fered in the winter short course which opens Jan. 9 for a four weeks' term. 1 he interest in loiranherrv culture is due to the fact that for the past two years the loganberry men have been making lots of money," he con tinued. "Tlicv have been making as high as from $.W to $.'50 an acre profit in a number of cases. This berry seems to have unlimited possi bilities provided it is handled in the proper w ly and proper organization is ct'trctcd." The new course will deal with the growing of the berry and the handling of the crop by canning, by evaporat ing, and by the manufacturing of lo ganberry juice. BENTON COUNTY OFFICIALS INSPECT ALBANY QUARRY Will Use Crushed Rock From Local Plant In Making New Roads Next Year. County Judge Moses and Commis sioner Smith of Corvallis were in Al bany yesterday inspecting the stone quarry of the North Albany Stone company which is conducted by W. T. Gardner and W. L. Cobb, one mile north of this city in Benton county. The Benton county officials accom panied by about thirty farmers living near this city acros sthe Willamette visited the quarry for the purpose of inspecting the crushed rock produced at the plant with a view to using the material in building roads in Benton county. The rock was found to be entirely satisfactory and many miles of good roads will be constructed during the next year with it in Benton county. The rock produced at the Albany quarry is of excellent quality and it is believed will prove to be especially good for the building of good roads. The proprietors of the quarry have allowed the city of Albany to repair the streets with their product and have charged them nothing for the rock., as a sample of the material. AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY HAS GROWN TO HUGE PROPORTIONS There are very few people, especial ly in' the' west, wo appreciates the enormous proportions to which the automobile industry has grown in the last few years, says C. S. Howard, head of the Howard Automobile Co.. who controls the popular Buick line on the Pacific Coast. Howard points to the enormous erowth of the Buick factory as example. The Buick mo tor Co., was organized in 1904, in wnich year it built 37 automobiles. At the present time the manufactur ing plant of this company represents an investment of $13,700,000, employs more man isuw workmen ana has a maximum capacity of 228 automobiles a day, more than six times as many as were manufactured in the entire year of 104. Some idea of the im mensity of this factory can be gained from the fact that one building alone occupies a space of ground larger than seven average city blocks. The Buick company own and operate a street railway for the purpose of trans porting employes to various parts of tne plant. A lie manufacture absolute ly every part of the Buick car except horns, carbureters, lams, tires and electric equipment, and the factory Doasts mat ot all the lll.uuu ma chines that they have built to date; there has never been one permanent ly laid aside by reason of its owner being unable to secure parts. That the racihe Loast has enjoyed its por tion of this immense growth is proven the yearly sales of the Howard Automobile Co. who only sold 75 cars for the. season of 1906. In 1907 150 Buicks were disposed of and in 1908 when the old d cylinder cars had be come better known 500 were sold. In 1910 Howard inaucuarted the prac tice of bringing solid trainloads of buicks to tne coast, nis trainioad that year consisting of 31 freight cars load ed with 134 Buicks. This was a rec ord shipment at that time but was totally eclipsed by the three trainloads of 1912, the first pf which consisted of 48 freight cars containing 224 Buicks, the second was composed of 52 freight cars containing 228 Buicks and the third and largest wa sa train of 52 cars carrying J54 Buicks valued at $340,995. This was the largest ship ment of first class freight ever record ed until the announcement last week of the shipment of a solid trainioad of 75 double-decked cars containing 375 Buick automobiles valued at $482, 400. This shipment in no interferes with the regular coast allotment of 150 cars per week, which are .being shipped regularly in addition to the trainioad. Howard's contract with the Buick factory this year calls for one tenth of their entire output, or a to tal of 4000 Buicks. Thi sis an increase of 3925 cars over 1906 and is an ele gant tribute to Buick consistency and popularity.
